英語聽書《白鯨記》第419期

But those wild eyes met his, as the bloodshot eyes of the prairie wolves meet the eye of their leader, ere he rushes on at their head in the trail of the bison; but, alas! only to fall into the hidden snare of the Indian.

但是,那些迎著他的狂熱的眼睛,就象大草原的狼群的充血的眼睛,在迎著它們的首領的眼睛后,那首領就領著它們向前沖去緊追野牛那樣;不料,天啊!卻沖進了印第安人隱設在那邊的陷阱里了。

Drink and pass! he CRIed, handing the heavy charged flagon to the nearest seaman.

喝呀,傳過去啊!他一面把那只裝得沉甸甸的細嘴酒瓶遞給身邊的水手,

The crew alone now drink. Round with it, round! Short draughts-long swallows, men;it's hot as Satan's hoof.

一面叫道:現(xiàn)在水手們單獨喝吧。挨次傳下去,傳下去!淺嘗也好,猛喝也好,朋友們;這酒可跟撒旦的蹄子一般厲害。

So, so; it goes round excellently. It spiralizes in ye; forks out at the serpent-snapping eye. Well done; almost drained.

唔,唔,大家都遞到了。它會弄得你天旋地轉(zhuǎn),弄得你鼓著惡蛇似的怒眼。好;差不多要光了。

That way it went, this way it comes. Hand it me--here's a hollow!

那邊去,這邊來。拿給我...空啦!

Men, ye seem the years; so brimming life is gulped and gone. Steward, refill!

喂,你們好象催人的歲月;把滿溢的生命,一口就喝光了。茶房,再斟酒來!

Attend now, my braves.

現(xiàn)在請注意,我的勇士們。

I have mustered ye all round this capstan; and ye mates, flank me with your lances; and ye harpooneers, stand there with your irons; and ye, stout mariners, ring me in, that I may in some sort revive a noble custom of my fisherman fathers before me.

我把你們大家都集中在這只絞盤四周;你們大二三副三人,手里拿著魚槍站在我身旁;你們這些標槍手,手里拿著標槍站在那一邊;你們這些強壯的水手,把我緊緊箍起,弄得我好象把我的捕魚祖先的高貴的風俗都恢復過來了。

O men, you will yet see that-Ha! boy, come back? bad pennies come not sooner.

伙伴們,你們還得留心...哈!茶房,回來啦?來得快的總是好的。

Hand it me. Why, now, this pewter had run brimming again, wert not thou St.Vitus' imp-away, thou ague!

拿給我。怎么,這只蠟錫杯又潑潑滿啦,你不會是圣。維杜的小魔鬼吧...滾開,你這打冷顫的東西!
